Peanut Butter + Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies


Just a quick recipe post today to share my first attempt at gluten free baking with you all.  This cookie recipe comes from the back of the Trader Joe's oatmeal package, and it came highly recommended.  Though they don't taste like a traditional cookie, these cookies combine chocolate and peanut butter (SCORE!) and the oats give them a crispy touch.  Not too shabby if you ask me...
